Is this ok [y/N]:

Expected results:
installing qt-creator does not require a downgrade of packages.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Sandro Mani 2020-11-12 11:55:50 UTC

I'll do so.

(qt-creator really needs a maintainer for the epel8 branch who actually uses it.)

Comment 2 Thomas Zimmermann 2020-12-16 09:20:49 UTC

qt-creator needs a rebuild for every Qt update, because it uses private headers which change even in minor updates.

I tried to rebuild it locally, so that I can continue using it.
But rebuilding doesn't work due to missing clang and llvm libs.
clang seems to have removed several shared libs in version 10, which qt-creator wants to link.

QtCreator Changelog shows the following entry for 4.13.0:
* Updated to LLVM 10

Therefore I think an update to at least this version is required.

Comment 3 Marco Vimercati 2021-01-21 10:16:59 UTC

Meanwhile is there any way to downgrade llvm/clang to make current qt-creator package working?

Comment 4 Sandro Mani 2021-01-21 10:18:43 UTC

I've fired off another rebuild. Again, qt-creator really needs a maintainer for the epel8 branch who actually uses it.

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2021-01-21 12:05:23 UTC

FEDORA-EPEL-2021-29750af0b4 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 8. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-29750af0b4

Comment 6 Thomas Zimmermann 2021-01-21 12:33:58 UTC

I can confirm that the new build is working correctly.
Thank you.

Comment 7 Marco Vimercati 2021-01-21 14:33:16 UTC

Manually installed on CentOS 8.3, seems working well.
Thank you!

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2021-01-22 01:45:04 UTC

Comment 9 Tom Hirst 2021-02-02 16:13:34 UTC

Hi Sandro,

This appears to have broken again with the update to LLVM 11, can you kick off another rebuild. Is there a guide somewhere on what I would need to do to become a maintainer for this?

Thanks

Comment 10 Sandro Mani 2021-02-02 16:48:34 UTC

Hi Tom

I've kicked off another rebuild [1]. This unfortunately will keep on happening, as I assume llvm/clang are in the EL core repos, whereas qt-creator is in EPEL, so unless whoever updates llvm/clang in EL is aware about the existence of qt-creator in EPEL and rebuilds it in sync, it will only get picked up when broken dependencies are reported.

The process for becoming a maintainer is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers. I'm not a sponsor myself, but I can answer questions on the packaging process.

Comment 11 Tom Hirst 2021-02-02 17:27:13 UTC

Hi Sandro,

Thanks for that, unfortunately that hasn't fixed it for the case I was trying which is installing on CentOS Stream, I guess because stream is now shipping llvm 11 and rhel 8 is still on llvm 10. Is there any plan for handling ABI differences between CentOS stream & RHEL yet?

Comment 12 Fedora Update System 2021-02-03 09:10:15 UTC

Comment 13 Sandro Mani 2021-02-03 09:11:53 UTC

> Is there any plan for handling ABI differences between CentOS stream & RHEL yet?

Uh I have no idea about that sorry, I'm just an external Fedora contributor.

If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 16 Augustin Cavalier 2021-06-17 15:44:08 UTC

There is now the same problem once again, as 8.4 ships with LLVM 11. Can someone trigger another rebuild, please?
